Re: Can you really 'forgive & forget'?
If you need a hand to get past the imaginary side of things let me know.....
It reminds me of a saying...
May God forgive you..
For I sure as hell won't...

It's always weird looking back over things like old emails, msn messenger conservations and the like - it's a case of 'wow that person was a nutter'.

Re: Can you really 'forgive & forget'?
I do try to be a forgive and forget type of person.. but I usually can't 
Of course, it does take a hell of a lot of really upset me but once it happens then that is usually that...
I have a really massive grudge against a couple of people in life
but fortunately I am several thousands of miles away from them so I don't think that much about it all nowadays.. 
which is much better for my soul methinks..
Em x

There was an email going round a few years back along the lines of 'Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you're a XX (add insult)'

Under what situation? Some anonymous person bumming into you by accident sort? For these type yes I can.
For others, no never! You will get walked all over if you do that. You can pretend to forgive in the meantime but make sure you hide that hatchet deep down in your payback locker until the time is ripe to strike

I make sure they pay, it might not be now but when the opportunity strikes they are as good as dead 
Might be something as trivial as simply ignoring at times they need help and in turn causing them a huge mishap.

You can't be serious? Even if someone has done you serious wrong for example murdering an entire family/swindling the entire family fortune/ruined your life/framed you and got you deported/destroyed your hope of obtaining PR?! I'm not as forgiving as you I make sure they pay, it might not be now but when the opportunity strikes they are as good as dead

Agree whole heartedly with the rest of your post, loving the twist with the 'pretending to forgive'.

Re: Can you really 'forgive & forget'?
One person in the past seriously did my husband wrong and I will neither forgive nor forget that and the day I hear of him dying I will celebrate. Any other wrongs generally get forgiven but I have the memory of an elephant unfortunately and don't seem to be able to forget a damn thing. Life's too short to harbour grudges (except this one guy) so I try to live and let live (not saying it works mind ).
).

Re: Can you really 'forgive & forget'?
Looky, death is hardly a punishment though as it's something we all do. I wish one person a very nasty death but I'd prefer it came sooner than later. I don't think one hatred out of the thousands of people I've probably met in my life is too bad
